This turtle is named Leo, I think...

...but we gave it to a little boy named Darwin two days ago, so I'm thinking Leo isn't so much a turtle as he is a tortoise (get it? eh?).

(The first thing Darwin did was stuff Leo's entire head into his mouth.)





Leo came from a pattern in "Let's Make Cute Stuff by Aronzi Aronzo: FUN DOLLS" called "Turtlies." As you can see, I deviated from pattern with his eyes -- I don't have any crafting felt, so I embroidered them on with embroidery floss. I should probably get some felt, though... you can do a lot of fun stuff with it...
